		<description>It would be a simple matter for google to develop an algorithm, or manually take a sample of sites that do this and then assign some sort of value to that site (or more appropriately, lack of value). Then as an advertiser you&#039;d have a little more say on where your ads get paid for showing up.

Google COULD do something like this. But, how are you going to stop it when Google makes money when adsense sites are set up like that?

Google Sux. And eventually, everyone will figure it out.

I do want to make money off of Adsense - but I also want my sites to have value. I want to provide service to the surfer looking for information. I am willing to work at it - but it ticks me off when  I do all this hard work to provide value only to have a dirtbag adsense site beat me out.</description>

		<description>You are right.  I can&#039;t stand those sites, but they obviously are making money.  I posted something similar a while back at my site:

I case you are interested.
